Obama`s State of The Union Address

Congress is tabling an AIPAC-backed sanctions bill that would sabotage diplomatic efforts with Iran and lead America down the road to war. Again. However, President Obama reiterated in his State of the Union address that he would veto this bill.

(LONDON) - I listened with interest to Mr. Obama’s State of The Union address. If you’re not an American citizen or living and working in America it has nothing to offer you.

On the other hand, if you are a citizen of the world, or in particular, if you are a Palestinian it spells disaster. Just read this one paragraph and you will see what I mean.

State of the Union Underscores Obama`s Strong Commitment to Middle East Peace and Security

"APN strongly supports the Obama Administration's Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy, recognizing that ending this conflict and achieving peace and a two-state solution are vital to the national security interests of both the U.S. and Israel..."

(WASHINGTON, DC) - In his State of the Union address last night, President Obama addressed in detail the issues that are at the heart of APN's mission and activities.

APN's President and CEO Debra DeLee, said President Obama's address to Congress and the American people highlighted the most important issues and priorities on the nation's agenda...

Press TV: Salem-News.com`s Tim King Comments on Israel PM`s Latest Iran Nuclear Warning

Netanyahu's claim that Iran is "six weeks away" from building nuclear weapon, comes ahead of the next round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P-five-plus-one group.

(TEHRAN/SALEM) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to protest against the Geneva deal, making allegations about Iran's nuclear program.

Speaking at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, the Israeli prime minister said that according to their assessment, under the Geneva agreement, Iran is just six weeks away from building a nuclear weapon.

The Pete Seeger I Knew: Against Injustice, Dedicated to Dialogue

The iconic folk singer and social activist supported a just peace and a dialogue with others with whom we disagree, whether Israeli Jews or Palestinians.

(TEL AVIV Ha'aretz) - As a child of the 1960s in America, I grew up (as did my parents) on the music of Pete Seeger. “If I Had a Hammer,” popularized by Peter, Paul and Mary, became one of the iconic songs of that decade.

“Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” is a powerful, haunting lament to the young people sacrificed in wars. He even popularized “We Shall Overcome.” Often called “America’s conscience,” Pete Seeger embodied a plain, common-sense opposition to injustice of every sort.

Hague, Sworn Enemy of Criminal Impunity, Still Soft on Israel`s War Crimes

Knowing his record, isn't that just another case of our brave Foreign Secretary shooting his mouth off? Judge for yourselves.

(LONDON) - A few days ago we were talking about Agent Willie Hague's self­proclaimed commitment to smoke out war criminals, bring them to account and support the International Criminal Court in its investigations.

“If you commit war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide you will not be able to rest easily in your bed,” he said. But knowing his record, isn't that just another case of our brave Foreign Secretary shooting his mouth off? Judge for yourselves.

Holocaust Day - The Time Is Ripe For A Jewish Apology

Indeed, I take this opportunity to make an apology, even though I have not been a Jew for quite a while.

(LONDON) - A mass protest in Paris on Sunday against French President François Hollande turned into an anti-Jewish demonstration and ended in clashes between police and protesters.

Seemingly, Jewish organisations around the world are scared by the recent developments in France. Once again, they clearly failed to appreciate the growing mass fatigue of Shoah indoctrination and belligerent lobby politics. However, I would contend that instead of whining about the “rise of anti-Semitism”, Jews better, once and for all, learn to ask why? Why the Jews again?

Welcome to Planet America

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
- From a sonnet by American poet, Emma Lazarus, engraved on a plaque on The Statue of Liberty

(LONDON) - The America that the founding fathers established almost 250 years ago is unrecognizable now. Since the Second World War, America has been transformed into the bully in the global playground.

What various American administrations can’t achieve by persuasion, bribery and coercion they destroy with brute force.

Ignorance is Prelude to Sudden Destruction

Folks it is the system which is broken! Broken! Broken! As in B-R-O-K-E, which means that it don’t work anyway, no matter who is driving the Big bus!

(MELBOURNE VNN) - I recommend reading Dr. Lawrence Davidson’s column, written in 2011, about the results of lobbyfication, which many in America and the world are beginning to notice in recent months.

The activities Dr. Davidson describes in United States Congress and the Senate are not only malfeasance of office, and failure to represent the interests of their constituents and the Nation...

Is Netanyahu Certifiable?

Though I am not an expert on the subject, it seems to me that what Netanyahu needs most of all is some psychiatric help.

(LONDON) - The expanded and most explicit form of my headline question is this.

Is Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of sound mind and knowingly talking propaganda nonsense about threats to Israel’s security in order to fool the world including most of its Jews, or, is he unbalanced, mentally disturbed, even clinically insane?

Village Destruction in the Jordan Valley

Israel is aided and abetted by every U.S. President and Congress and every American tax payer who elects pro-Israel governments. We are all guilty because we tolerate or encourage the permanent intimidation of our public officials by Israel and its American allies.

(CHICAGO) - British journalist and author Victoria Brittain traveled to the Jordan Valley to see the actual conditions and latest developments in one of the areas under discussion in the peace negotiations John Kerry is conducting between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

A people under military occupation, prisoners in their own land, controlled by outside forces, live in the area in which Victoria Brittain traveled.
